About the Artist: 

Anne Carnevale, the artist behind Carnevale Clay, believes an object tells a story.  

Her work is inspired by functional objects that have been present throughout history- a cup, a plate, a spoon, a water jug... timeless, clean and simple. Traveling in the mediterranean as a child, Anne became acutely aware of the handmade in the region.  Its architecture and artifacts awakened an artistic sensibility that has shaped her life & work. 

Carnevale creates sculptural vessels that are, like the human figure, unique and one of a kind, changing from every view point.  Art pieces that are made to be held and used. objects that aesthetically enhance the everyday moments of life.  The vessels are coil hand sculpted, a technique that reaches into antiquity and predates throwing on a wheel.  The simplicity of hand building artistically stands out in a world that is striving towards mathematical perfection- where the human imprint of the creative moment is hidden or lost.  

For Anne, the imperfect line & the off-centered object is the art.
